    Fighting Extremism – The Legal Propositions
    (University of North Bengal, 2020-03) Goswami, Gauri; Boruah, Isheta
    Law as an essential function of the state regulates social interests and arbitrates conflicting claims and demands security of person and property that can be achieved through instrumentality of law. In recent years, there has been an outcry of atrocities caused by various extremist groups like Boko-Haram of Nigeria where its imminent and consistent message of their intolerance in terms of religion, culture, social- has had many drastic changes in many regions of the world. The Islamic Extremism in India focused primarily on the conflict of Kashmir where India has the second largest Muslim population in the world. Even the religious extremism faced by India where the left wings (Naxalites and Maoists) are considered as the single biggest internal security threat have the low level insurgency in India’s south central regions since 1967.In 2015 Paris, 12 people were killed in the terrorist attack in the office of Charlie Hebdo a French satirical magazine that published controversial Muhammad cartoons.

    Kashmir Conundrum
    (University of North Bengal, 2012-03) Attar Rabbani
    The problem of Jammu and Kashmir (Kashmir henceforth) is apparently one of the most complex of problems that we witness in the world today and its genesis arguably lie in the manner of subcontinents’ partition in 1947. Both India and Pakistan claim full sovereignty over Kashmir, citing historical, geographic and demographic reasons. Irrespective of what now holds on the ground in Kashmir, Delhi and Islamabad still holds possession of it as a matter of national survival. But concurrently also emphasize willingness to pursue its resolution and say, are prepared to traverse extra-mile to alleviate sufferings of the people of Kashmir. Their resolve is usually captured in phrases like ‘composite dialogue’ and ‘cross-border commerce’ in specific and ‘people-to-people-contact’ in general. This has surprisingly however not effected any change in their fundamental position - neither Delhi nor Islamabad has formally budged from their old positions on Kashmir. Given this fundamental reality, the calls of early resolution of Kashmir look as doubtful as ever because without effecting fundamentals no solution is realizable. This paper attempts to shade light on prevailing Conundrum in Kashmir as a result and highlights the plight of ordinary Kashmiris sandwiched between two warring factions – the Indian security forces and Pakistan backed militia.
